The maximum elongation of a steel wire of $1 \,m$ length if the elastic limit of steel and its Young's modulus,respectively,are $8 \times 10^8 \,N \,m^{-2}$ and $2 \times 10^{11} \,N \,m^{-2}$,is: (in $\,mm$)

Which material has a higher Young's modulus: copper or steel?

One end of a steel rod of radius $10.0 \ mm$ and length $50.0 \ cm$ is clamped on a horizontal table. The other end of the rod is pulled with a force of magnitude $10.0 \times \pi \ kN$. This force is uniform across the flat surface of the rod and is perpendicular to it. The change in the length of the rod due to this applied force is (Use Young's modulus $= 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$) (in $mm$)

$A$ block of weight $100 \ N$ is suspended by copper and steel wires of same cross-sectional area $0.5 \ cm^2$ and lengths $\sqrt{3} \ m$ and $1 \ m$,respectively. Their other ends are fixed on a ceiling as shown in the figure. The angles subtended by the copper and steel wires with the ceiling are $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. If the elongation in the copper wire is $\Delta \ell_C$ and the elongation in the steel wire is $\Delta \ell_S$,then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \ell_C}{\Delta \ell_S}$ is. . . . . .
[Young's modulus for copper and steel are $1 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ and $2 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$ respectively]

Two rods of same material and volume having circular cross-section are subjected to tension $T$. Within the elastic limit,the same force is applied to both the rods. If the diameter of the first rod is half of the second rod,then the ratio of the extension of the first rod to the second rod will be: (in $: 1$)
